Help for Gardeners and Wannabes

This Sunday, when you visit the fourteen gardens that will be open for Mrs. Greenthumbs Day, you may experience garden envy and be inspired to start a garden or improve the one you already have. Should this happen to you, help is at hand. On Mrs. Greenthumbs Day, copies of Cassandra Danz's second book, Mrs. Greenthumbs Plows Ahead: Five Steps to the Drop-Dead Gorgeous Garden of Your Dreams, will be available for sale at the Hudson Opera House, 327 Warren Street, at a special discount for the day of 20 percent. As if that weren't enough, half the profits from the sale of the books will go to the "Hedge Fund" for making improvements to Hudson's parks.

The gardens will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 20. Maps showing the location of the fourteen gardens will be available that day at The Secret Gardener, 250 Warren Street. If you want your very own copy of the map before Sunday so you can plan your route in advance, send an email to Gossips, with the word "Map" in the subject line, and a PDF of the map will be sent to you promptly.COPYRIGHT 2014 CAROLE OSTERINK

About The Gossips of Rivertown

This blog takes its name from the 1850 novel by Hudson author Alice B. Neal. The original Gossips of Rivertown cast a gimlet eye on Hudson society in the mid-19th century. More than a century and a half later, the new Gossips carries on the spirit of the original, but in a different genre and with a different focus.
